complex shape to shape

Hi Guys,

I need to convert the complex shapes to shapes in my project .How can I do it in batch?

  • Do these complex shapes contain arcs, or are they just lines/line strings? Microstation usually automatically converts "complex shapes" to "shapes" on creation if they are all linear segments. You may be able to use the Facet Curve tool to eliminate arcs, but you should check that manually before trying to use it in a batch. You may not get the results you expect on the first try.

  • Hi MaryB

    All of these lines are complex shapes. I want to batch convert them to shape.It takes a lot of time if I do it one by one.

  • After making the fence void clip, complex shape occurs. I don't want this.I want creating shape.

  • Hi Oray,

    Try this:

    1. Select all of the complex shapes
    2. Use Stitch Into Mesh to create a mesh from the selected complex shapes.
    3. Use Drop Element command to drop this mesh To Surfaces

    These should be shapes now.

    Regards,
    Ron

  • Nice trick! Thank you.

  • Shape is primitive element (aka closed polyline) with 4999 vertex limit, complex shape is closed complex element from grouping any linear elements and no vertex limit. Region can be either created as complex shape or as dynamic shape(associative region) a specific type and should be avoided if not needed. All shapes are mostly used as planar as non-planar shapes cause issues in 3D renderings.
